Social E Fellowship
Through the Social E Fellowships, a Cardinal Quarter opportunity, students explore social entrepreneurship as a pathway of public service and social change. Fellows spend a summer working full-time for nine weeks in the social entrepreneurship arena with an established social entrepreneur as a mentor.
Each Social E Fellow receives a base stipend of $7000 to support travel and living expenses during the fellowship. Financial aid and supplemental funding are available to students who qualify.
Students are welcome to propose placements with a variety of public interest organizations, keeping in mind funding will be restricted for certain types of political, research, Stanford-based, for-profit, and faith-based organizations.
Cardinal Quarter host organizations are typically nonprofits or government agencies. For-profit entities may be allowed if the proposed work and organization meet the following conditions: (i) the work/activity is primarily intended to create or provide a public benefit, (ii) the entity has explicitly and publicly articulated the intention to benefit the public and has integrated this intention in both internal- and external-facing documents, and (iii) the entity has agreed to, and has expressed a willingness to support, student exploration of the public value of the enterprise and/or the development of a civic identity as part of their engagement. Please review the “Host Organization Eligibility” section of our program policies for more information.
